Double Negative staff have worked on special effects on the Harry Potter and Batman films and are part of the UK's fast-growing visual effects industry.

To work in visual effects or designing computer games Next Gen Skills , a campaign backed by some big employers, says you need to have a combination of creative and technological skills. They suggest maths, physics, art and computer science qualifications.
